Customs duty cannot be fastened jointly and severally on multiple noticees without first determining the actual importer and the role of each person. The Tribunal held that the adjudicating authority must examine the documentary evidence, record clear factual findings on individual responsibility, and then fix duty and penalty, if warranted, on the person concerned.
